Our house has been bombarded with the nuts from the Liquidamber tree as the cockies throw them down onto the roof. It was easy to think someone was deliberately throwing things on the roof – perhaps they were 🙂

Group photo
It’s not often I use a tripod but when taking portraits or group images, especially if I’m supposed to be in the shot, the tripod, coupled with the timer, is a must. In this shot I’m in the second row from the front, far left. It was funny hearing the group yelling at me to…
Feeding the Pelicans
When visiting Healesville Sanctuary recently I got to watch the pelicans being fed.
Squabbling Cockatoos
The Sulphur Crested Cockatoos are always fun to watch. They are comical characters and when there is food in the offering, they race to get there first. Sometimes there are squabbles. Taken at one of my favourite places to visit, Grant’s Picnic Ground in Kallista.
Photograph Exhibition – are you coming?
I have my first exhibition coming up in May being held at a cafe in the Dandenong Ranges, Victoria. I’ve had several people ask me for invitations but I’m sure I won’t remember everyone who’s asked. I’ve placed the event information at my page at Facebook. All are welcome. The exhibition is for 4 weeks…
Lone Duckling
As we made our way around Healesville Sanctuary the other day we came across the wetlands area. It had duck weed or similar growing right across the top of the water. Looked strange for this lone duckling to be making its way across the top slowly.
Crimson Rosella
Back at Grant’s Picnic Ground this Crimson Rosella was on a darkened path so I used my flash.
Melbourne City Lights
I was attending a conference in Melbourne last week and went out for dinner on the Friday night. Naturally my camera was with me and I couldn’t wait for it to get dark so I could try my hand at the city lights. So, what do you think? Do you like it?
Black Breasted Buzzard
Another bird from the show at Healesville Sanctuary, this Black Breasted Buzzard waits for the signal to take off again.
Black Kite in action
I went to Healesville Sanctuary last week to take a visiting friend from the US to her first taste of Australian wildlife and birdlife in action. We watched the bird show which was amazing. This is a Black Kite catching food in mid-air.
Hole in the fence illusion
I had to look twice to check that the fence didn’t have a hole in it. Amazing how sun and shadows can play tricks on your eyes.
Bronze Gazania
A day later and it’s very sunny, beautiful day. Wandering the garden we have many autumn flowers out on show. I liked the single drop of water on the petal of this flower.
